The spectrum varies from classic white-collar crimes such as misappropriation, mismanagement, corruption, financial market offences or customs offences to criminal offences that may occur within the scope of business or work activities, such as industrial accidents, medical malpractice, road traffic accidents, breaches of labor law regulations, data protection violations, etc.
